"Four men, flying back to Seattle from a salmon-fishing trip to
Neah Bay, were injured late yesterday afternoon when their plane crashed
in a forced landing at Ludlow Bay, 20 miles south of Port
Townsend. Three of the injured fishermen were from Seattle,
including Kenneth R. Palmer, of 125 N. 85th St., 26 years old, the
pilot. The two Seattle passengers were Sam Crooks, 39, of 7357
Alonzo St., and Arthur N. Walker, 29, of 1033 Palatine Av. Both
men suffered cuts and bruises. The fourth fisherman, Don
McPherson, 26, of Newcastle, Colo., suffered a leg fracture in the
crash. The plane sank quickly after the crash and a Coast Guard
auxiliary boat commanded by Harry Campbell of Port Townsend rescued the
men from the water." [The Seattle Times; Monday, July 19, 1948 -
